Net Short Positions on Oil ??

Where can you get information on short positions
on near term oil and gas futures ??

I was reading somewhere, that there was a big time
short position back in November and that
now, with the inventory reports being bearish,
the shorts are getting nervous and covering and
causing the futures to go up instead of down.

Thanks

Always glad to help. [smilie=toothy2.gif]

You can download the history to a spreadsheet too. The graphs are very revealing.

Interesting to see the commercials (smart money) going shorter and the non-commercials (dumb money) going longer (Dec. 6th report). Personally I have a feeling the market is going to challenge the OPEC's stated floor price of about $48 - futures (or OPEC basket price of $40 to $45). I think it will take some time to get there (months ?). From there I think it just goes up.

But what do I know ?
